New stuff

Today I found out that this quilt that I did for a customer last year won a red ribbon at the Augusta,ME quilt show this week! That kind of news always makes me happy!
Well, here it is. What a difference a table can make! The only thing is, there is no batting roller! Yikes! What to do with all those rolls of batting?? My guest closet already has 2 rolls in it. The 2 rolls that were under my old table are now standing up against the wall in my guest room. I'm used to storing 2 rolls under the table. Well never fear, Don is going to make me a roller for under the table...just soon as he gets 'round to it'... lol. But never fear, I will P&M so much that I bet he'll do it this weekend!




Don't scrutinize my feathers too much...I was concentrating on tension, not form.



My biggest concern about getting a new machine, was that my old premier stitched PERFECTLY. I mean perfect tension, perfect everything. I could run any kind of thread without issues. Well, I spent the afternoon tweaking the tension on the new machine and playing with different threads and it is fine! Whew...what a relief. And the new machine has some new features that the old one didn't. Not to mention a warranty! And my dealers were great as always. Happy, happy, happy! Very glad I went with the custom table; fits in my studio, and has the extra space I need.
All in all, a very good day!

  3. Deb,
    The table looks great and you can always get a length of PVC to go under your table. If you get the thick walled kind, it will be strong enough.
    Have fun with the new baby!!!!
